3.2 Make Connections to FIRSTVISION

All of the procedures in this section require you to operate FIRSTVISION like a personal computer. Because of that operation usage scenario, you MUST connect an external keyboard and a mouse to

FIRSTVISION.

3.2.1 What To Connect and How To Make the Connections

Step 1. Connect a keyboard and mouse to the either of these connectors.
